The 100-page collection of travel writing is non-fiction and unuique. There are first-hand narratives of hitchhiking alone through East Africa, of voyages with untested crews across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, of storms, knife and shark attacks, robberies and wrecks. Aside from travel writing, they are fiction. - Juvenilia is by definition a retrospective of someone's early work, to discern not so much quality as direction. This writing is not meant to impress, but it is hoped that teens today might empathize with some of the anger, the questioning of authority, and the rebelliousness - imaginary, idealized - herein. Umbrae Papilionis means shadows of the butterflies I hoped later to write. I was a 17-year-old junior at St. George's School in Newport, RI. I was not good in spring sports and took advantage of the school's little-known policy of producing a special project instead Z. (for Zarathustra) was overseen on my senior year by Mrs. Janet Buell. The title derives from my study of and flirtation with Persian and non-Judeo-Christian religions, and a featured essay. Shorts is by far the loudest scream this author has put to paper. My freshman year at 15,000-student Boston College was highly tumultuous and wrenchingly free. Shorts reflects my Beatnik bent. The collections features numerous maps, many of them penned during the author's teen years.
